Steelers WR Eli Rogers working to get back on field after being inactive for 2 games

he has spent the last two weeks on the Steelers’ inactives list. He fumbled a punt against the Chicago Bears in Week 3 that contributed to a loss. According to coach Mike Tomlin and Rogers,However,Authentic Muhammad Wilkerson Jersey, that is the reason for him being on the inactives list.

“He was just saying he was giving me time to focus in on my details on punt return and being technically sound,” Rogers said to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s Ed Bouchette. “To my knowledge,Womens Matt Forte Jersey, it’s nothing on offense.”

However, Bouchette is not totally sold on that. He believes that a some poor route running was also part of the problem.

Martavis Bryant has returned from suspension and JuJu Smith-Schuster was a second-round draft pick.,Authentic Chandler Catanzaro Jersey,Rogers is in a completely different wide receiver group than he was last season. In 2016, he was competing with Cobi Hamilton,Authentic DeMario Davis Jersey, Darius Heyward-Bey and a banged up Sammie Coates for most of the year. This season

With those options, for Rogers to stay on the field he is going to have do it by being a dependable option week in and week out.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have gotten off to a strong start this season and currently sit at 3-1 and atop the AFC North. This week they have the Jacksonville Jaguars coming to town and they are bringing a stout run game and aggressive defense. What will this mean for a Steelers’ team that has been led by its defense to this point? Let’s make some predictions.

Even though on paper the Jaguars are one of the top pass defenses in the league, the Steelers can exploit a group that hasn’t really been tested yet this season. When you allow as many yards on the ground as Jacksonville goes it is easy to forget they can still be attacked through the air.

On the other side of the ball, Pittsburgh will be tested against Jaguars running back Leonard Fournette. The Steelers have allowed running backs to gash them this season so how they respond to that knowing their opponent will line up and run regardless of the defense will be a big key.

But all that aside there’s one big reason the Steelers are going to win this game. When in doubt look to the quarterbacks. Blake Bortles has been a non-factor this season. He only has 732 passing yards in four games. Ben Roethlisberger hasn’t been great statistically but if this game comes down to the passing game, the Steelers have a huge edge.

In the final analysis, the Steelers are too talented and play too well at home. Unless there is some sort of catastrophic injury or a mental meltdown by the team, the Steelers move to 4-1 this week.

Maurkice Pouncey said Pittsburgh's loss to the Jaguars on Sunday was a total team effort.

While much of the outside world is pinning Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Jaguars on Ben Roethlisberger and his five interceptions, Pittsburgh's Pro Bowl center said that everyone played a hand in the Steelers dropping their second game of the 2017 season.

“Some of it's our fault too," Pouncey said about his offensive line. "We should have kept our protection cleaner. Guys fell down on the routes. There’s no one to blame. We just didn’t play well as on offense.

“We didn’t do well in the red zone at all. The offense didn’t play as well as we needed to today.”

While Pittsburgh's offense went 0-for-3 in the red zone, the Steelers' defense allowed 231 rushing yards that included a 90-yard touchdown run by rookie running back Leonard Fournette, who gashed the black and gold to the tune of 181 yards on 28 carries.

have those type of runs,“We never wanna allow somebody to run for so many yards," Pro Bowl linebacker Ryan Shazier said of his run defense, we’re gonna make sure that we’re get this taken care of.”, have somebody run the ball down your throat, which entered Sunday's game ranked 25th in the NFL. “We just gotta do a lot better of a job. I don’t feel like we did a good enough job of fitting the gaps that we needed to fit. I know one thing

Despite Pittsburgh's offense putting it's defense in bad spots throughout the second half, defensive captain Cam Heyward said that it's his unit's job to respond to whatever challenge is thrown their way.

we gotta respond,"Whatever we’re dealt, that’s on us. We gotta be more stout, that’s what happens.",Womens Devon Kennard Jersey," Heyward said. "We gotta rip out the ball. We have to get off the field. They bled the clock, we gotta tackle better. When we don’t execute

In the midst of uncertainty and inconsistently surrounding the Steelers,Authentic Matt Forte Jersey, two things were made clear following Pittsburgh's loss to the Jags: the Steelers will stay united as a team regardless of what happens, and the team knows that they must fix the issues that have them at 3-5 five games into the 2017 season.

" Alejandro Villanueva said after the game. "It becomes challenging to look back at the game and wish we had done things differently. Right now we’re not playing really good football,"I think any game you lose in the National Football League is tough to lose. Especially when we have the talent that we have,Womens Kelvin Beachum Jersey, we have the great coaches, and we have to change that. We have the potential,Womens Chandler Catanzaro Jersey, we have the great game plan every week. We just have to execute well."

The Steelers had problems in their 30-9 loss to the Jaguars Sunday. Ben Roethlisberger was throwing picks, they weren't giving Le'Veon Bell the ball enough,Womens DeMario Davis Jersey, and the Jaguars' defense was simply too athletic at spots for the Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh's problems began at the quarterback position. Jaguars veteran safety Barry Church said Roethlisberger wasn't playing in rhythm like he normally does.

" Church said "He would go to first look,“We were showing him multiple looks, man, third look, and he would get flustered trying to make one of those miraculous Big Ben plays.”

Jacksonville returned two interceptions for touchdowns as part of a five-pick day for Big Ben. This is where the athleticism came in. For one, the Jaguars are very confident in their own abilities and they are more than happy to talk about them.

Smith had one of the two picks the Jaguars took the other way while Church had the other, but the domination was far beyond personnel. Jacksonville simply played a better game, and called a better one according to Church.

Jacksonville still wondered why the Steelers didn't run the ball more.,The Steelers were knocked around Sunday, from the 90-yard touchdown run by Leonard Fournette in the fourth quarter to at the line of scrimmage to where Bell managed just 47 yards on 15 carries. The Jaguars were simply the better team. However,Authentic Devon Kennard Jersey, despite that fact

they gave [Bell] like 35 carries or something like that,“Last week,” Church said. “They kind of went away from it, so I was super surprised,Authentic Kelvin Beachum Jersey, and that played right into our hands.”
